No? It says “pilots the controller” which is fairly vague of the cause and effects going on. I think a real human would clarify the controller motors being used to physically move the controller.
- serf 3mo agoyes? it says it uses the haptic motors like within 2 or 3 sentences, it says it 'slams the controller into the puck until it charges', it says it uses an overhead camera, and it even says that it navigates the controller to the puck using the motors and camera further down if you don't feel like taking the 3 seconds to connect the dots. a video would've been nice, but I would've communicated this the same way and i'm not an llm, even if this thing may have been written by one, nor did I have any problem understanding the intent - not a brag, it just doesn't seem that strange to me.
- Gigachad 3mo agoIt doesn’t say haptic motor anywhere. The only reference to how it moves in the whole thing is “internal dual Linear Resonant Actuators” which seems intentionally obtuse and even that is buried in the depths surrounded by a ton of unimportant detail.
- jorvi 3mo agoAny human would have taglined this "vibrate to magnetic charging puck with computer vision". It just feels horribly low effort. Respect your fellow man.
- ssl-3 3mo agoThey put some code together and published it for all to use, with an MIT license, that lets a game controller wiggle itself over to a charging puck using computer vision. That's pretty neat. If you want the documentation to be written to a standard that is more to your liking, then you're free to submit a PR or fork it -- or do just about anything else you want with it (including ignoring its existence). Respect your fellow man.
- stevage 3mo agoThese are the weirdest criticisms. It seems totally normal to me for engineers to be bad at explaining their project to a lay audience. Whereas that's the kind of thing that LLMs are great at.
- bee_rider 3mo agoAnyway, it’s a little free hobbyist project, right? Documentation is extra, not expected.
- hombre_fatal 3mo agoNah, a human wouldn't even have a readme. We're really forgetting what pre-AI software looked like, it seems.
- geon 3mo agoNo. I thought it meant the haptic feedback was for a human to make it easier to find the charger in the dark ir something.
- a3w 3mo agoWhat even is a "controller", it pilots the gamepad. Controller could mean the AR controllers, too.
